FWIW, I report the following just for general interest and a heads-up, not
as a warning not to use RX-8 Renesis coils (at least not yet).

From the car racing corwd, I have been getting a lot of reports and requests
for information about using LS-1 coils on RX-8 cars.  They have been having
some failures of Renesis coils and are asking if the LS-1 coils will work on
the stock ECU.  There is also a rumor of Mazda coming out with updated RX-8
coils, possibly as a result of these failures.

The only report I have of problems with Renesis coils on aircraft was from
Ian Beedle who had some fail on his plane.  It was thought that this was due
to his EC2 being programmed for LS-1 coils but this may not be the case in
light of these reports.

I am using 6 Renesis coils on my 20B with about 15 hours of ground testing,
no problems so far.

Tracy
